Be able to override FirestoreClient::DEFAULT_DATABASE

[mcadet]

Describe the feature you would like to see

As described in https://cloud.google.com/firestore/docs/manage-databases?hl=fr#create_a_database, I would like to be able to override the constant defined in FirestoreClient named DEFAULT_DATABASE.

The goal will be to allow defining it via the configuration file.

My application uses multi-tenancy, and I want to switch the configuration while bootstrapping or reverting the tenancy.

I thought I just had to extend the Factory class (impossible because it's final), or whatever, but I couldn't accomplish this.
Maybe is it another way to do this?

Thank you for your awesome work in this package.

Used versions:

• laravel/framework : v10.28.0
• kreait/laravel-firebase : v5.4.0
• google/cloud-firestore : v1.37.3

At the moment, the Firestore (and Cloud Storage) component are just super simple bridges, allowing them to be configured with options, as setting the default database) would be a good addition, thank you for bringing it up!

Todo list for myself:

• Enable the factory to accept Firestore client options
• Merge them with the default client options (they define the authentication config)
• Make the options configurable here in the package and pass them to the factory

I only have limited time available, so I can't give you an ETA, but it's on my radar.

I didn't do it in the Laravel package yet 😅🙈

Happy New Year @jeromegamez!

I would like to know if any update will be done about this issue in the current month?
If not, I probably will fork the project for my personal use with database override, as it's required for my business.

Thank you very much!

Since my work on my Firebase projects isn't funded (you've probably seen it in the readme of the SDK repo), I'm not motivated to do more than keeping everything stable and working at the moment, so I can't give you an ETA.

I understand you need it for your business and to make money, so for the moment I'd recommend forking the package and changing what you need - perhaps you'll do it in a way that can be merged back into here.

I understand. I will fork it so.
